Humans will never ever evolve into extra-terrestrials as we are born of earth. We will just be higher evolved beings of ourselves...spiritual enlightenments seems the easiest of all to humans as if can be obtained through heavy meditation ie The Dalai Llama, Yogis of India ect. Physical enlightenment is probably the next easiest though not obtainable to humans at the moment- humans can only run so fast or jump so high, and are restrictive to certain activities ie if you are a champion swimmer you cannot also be a champion high jumper, your body is just not that capable...yet. Mental enlightenment if the most difficult in my opinion. You are right in that ESP and telepathy could probably become a capability humans can obtain but our minds are working overtime on keeping the body and the mind itself active without over stimulation. I know of blind people using ecolocation to see (something all humans are capable of) of people touching light bulbs and lighting them up and of some (very very rare) people being able to regrow organ like livers. This is just a minute sliver of what a human is capable capable of.

If mental enlightenment is reached before the other two then the other two would be deemed obsolete due to you mind knowing how to improve your spiritual and pysical being. In saying that I do not believe you could reach the mental enlightenment without the other two first.

Love how you use "Death" to disrupt E and B's first fated meeting. A deliciously subtle tie to canon - death disrupts the natural course of E's life but the deft manuverings of Fate will get them together in the end. "Not even 'Death' will keep them apart," kind of thing.

Congrats on your precious gem, Ruby! I've patiently waited for this little story to update and I am happily rewarded with a warm reception. Emmett is jovial, but sincere in his willingness to help Bella. And Carlisle seems very welcoming as well. Hmmm, I bet Edward will be at dinner.
